Fall 1978 enrollment data for Hawaii's community colleges and data on selected characteristics of students enrolled in regular credit programs are presented. Of the 27,880 registrants, 74% were regular students, 1% were early admittees, 6% were registered in non-credit apprenticeship programs, and 18% were in special programs. Regular student enrollments for the community college system showed less than a 1% decrease from the previous year, with continuing trends toward numeric and proportional increases of women and part-time students. The mean age of students increased to 24.8 years, though the median age was 20.9. Full-time equivalent headcount ratios declined over the years, indicating that students were taking lighter credit loads (10.3 for all students, 13.8 for full-time students). Little change was revealed in student majors: liberal arts majors continued to comprise 47% of the enrollment, vocational education majors, 45%, and unclassified students, 9%; programs showing enrollment increases were agriculture, applied trades, aviation maintenance, commercial baking, diesel mechanics, food services, graphic arts, and nursing; programs showing decreases included electricity and medical assisting. Over 50% of the regular students were enrolled the previous semester; of the 30% who were first-time college students, 75% were high school graduates. Appendices contain definitions of student-related terms and distributions of majors by program. (MB)
